Door window seal.

How would you guys recommend fixing this? I dunno what the heck happened, but the seal is kinda messed up. As far as I know, nothing leaks, but it produces alot of wind noise at highway speeds. It kinda looks like someone tried to break into the car at one point in time, or something. It just bothers me how it looks.

Imageshacks bein retarded...

I can't really tell from the pic but it looks like it's just not lined up properly.
I remember when I replaced mine, it needed to be streched out and slid down some. this is easy as long as there's no sealant under it.

I would suggest Trying to smooth out the rubber. Try to hold the end closest to the front of the car and slowly push the rubber back into place as you move your hand further towards the back end. Its kind of hard to explain so tonight Ill try and make some diagrams.

what would you suggest for the top part? I tried to pull it out, without totally destroying it, and it wouldnt come out...

[Fatman88]

Maybe

Im not really sure about the top part. Maybe try replacing some. I hear honda doesnt charge much.

thats crazy, I have the EXACT same problem in the EXACT same spots.

had this problem so I went to the JY and pulled a good one , remove window and installed, i made the mistake of getting coupe one so i had to cut but I will get one from the dealership and replacing again.

Cool. I will have to try this the next chance I get. Been to busy working to get anything done on it... I also have to find a junk yard around here.

One of my buddy's lives in deleware. He should know of a couple good ones. Ill let you know. I helped someone with the exact problem and like gemini said i too found only a coupe one. It worked but we cut it.

Thanks man . It would be really nice to have one near Newark, or Elkton Md, which is close to where I live.
The seal kind of an eyesore, considering how 'mint' the rest of the car is. I think somebody tried to steal it at one point in its life, because I was looking through the records that my grandparents gave me, and it had a paper in there labeled "vandalism" or something like that. I should go back and read through it.

[Fatman88]

Ill find out

Ill try to find out where he lives exactly. I know he goes to dewy beach on the regular. If someone did try to steal it, it would explain the damage to the right side of your drivers window. Let me know if you find out. Ill call him and see if he wants to go on a hunt for cb7 parts. Maybe some one will find me some nice 5th gen 7 spokes.

[JPsAccordSE]

Cool... I'll probably need one, unless anyone knows how to make it stretch 2 inches?

[ilovemycb7]

I had the one lower near the mirror, and I took the mirror off, and inside door panel. And then just pushed/pulled it along the track. It worked well, I hated it and when it was fixed I was happy. It doesn't cause any problems anymore...

[JPsAccordSE]

I tried to pull it, but after about an inch or so, the seal in the corner decided to come along, so I need to find some way to stretch it. I did make it a little better, but it doesnt meet my expectations
